Tamron 28-75 vs Sigma 24-70

[ggodetucsamoht]

yes bro..its a macro...

another new user of tamron 28-75mm..

just tested it yesterday taken at 28mm f2.8
the IQ is good...however the af still needs improvement...same as my previous tammy 17-50mm f2.8, the af point always not accurate n slow...got to half press a few times to capture the rite spot...anyway, im intending to use mf selection instead...

But for that price...its an extremely good lens..with excellent optics!

just got my tamron 28-75 for my d700 too. seems abit not as wide to me comparing the fov of 17-50 on crops body. anyone feeling the same way as me? but it is definately a good buy .....

of cos bro...17mm at x1.6 or 1.5x is still wider than 28mm on a ff body

yeah good buy.

How do you find the Tamron lens?
Do you find it slow? I did test it out at CP once.. The hunting seem a little long....:bsmilie:
These two lens are of my either shopping list.
I am using 18-50 sigma dc lens (on nikon 1.5 crop - 27-75)

So if i were to buy Fx body and use sigma 18-50 as compare to this tamron. i am in fact indifference. of the similar distance.

As for sigma 24-70 it seem more of the useful distanct at wide 24mm.

sound like i am leaning more to Sigma lens.....

just got tamron 28-75 f/2.8 for my d90 today, no issue on the af and hunting seem fast and accurate. tried sigma 24-70 f/2.8, gosh it's heavy. tested it out today, so far so good. sharp copy too and quite satisfy with it

Finally took the plunge and get a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 w/ built-in motor for my D90 yesterday.

Some observations:
- NO AF issue (used at Japanese fair in the evening, and 90% no hunting when there is sufficient light)
- A little noisy (like 2 plastic rubbing each other) during AF
- As sharp as I like even at f2.8 (since I am using on a AP-C body)
- No IS/VR etc.. handheld a little tricker at 75mm since shutter around 1/15 only. Hard to catch actions without pumping up the ISO.
- Tamron rear lens cap not compatible with Nikon lens

i think getting a sharp copy and a good one is important..the last 17-50mm tamron, i had a hard time focusing n i didnt realli find the lens sharp..and becos of this, i always didnt quite like to get tamron lens, but i was impress with this lens thou...

I had mine during last year Nov, got it off TCW 2nd hand for only S$450 and its still one of the sharpest lens even at wide open i ever owned.

Tamron 28-75 on D90 at 60mm F/25 bulb mode for 2mins

46mm F13 long exposure for 30sec... this is sharper than the above.

Reviews for the Sigma 24-70 HSM has been pretty phenomenal, it's also said to outperform the cannot 24-70L lens, and won an European award for best lens 09/10.

Only problem is that it retails at 1400ish and shops don't want to bring it in. U can arrange for viewing at sigma headquarters in Singapore though.

Overall the tamron is much better value for money, although i chose the Nikon 35-70 instead. haha.

I have 28-75mm tamron, and I find that the result is excellent - although I do find that the Red color seems to be over-red. I was taking a dark red bbq pit but it appears as super red! Anyone has such issue? I am using canon 40D

Very impressive at F2.8 :thumbsup: I think this better than my 17-50 F2.8 at wide opening?
Any one has compared the two len at wide opening?

the issue lies with the 40D.. what picture style were you using? standard tends to bump up the red a lot. the overall saturation is also increased in standard.

i usually use neutral with my 40D
